EASTENDERS' Lucy Beale worked out her mum Cindy's fake death twist before her murder.

Fans of the BBC One soap have rumbled how Lucy questioned whether her mum was actually still alive.

The historic episode, which aired about 16 years ago, saw Lucy speaking to her brothers Steven and Peter about her theory.

In the 2007 episode she told her siblings how Cindy might have had to go into hiding and suggested she was still alive.

Tragically, Lucy will never know that her mother is in fact alive as she met her fate just a few years later.

Lucy, who was played by Melissa Suffield and Hetti Bywater, was killed by her brother Bobby after he caused her a catastrophic head injury.

As she prepares for a return to the Square, she is unaware that her estranged husband George Knight and two daughters have moved to Walford.

Michelle, 61, has now revealed that EastEnders viewers will be brought fully up to speed on the past two decades of Cindy's life in flashback scenes.

"That kind of playing with time – if you're gonna play with time – and you know, Lucy's been murdered – who else is dead?"

The Sun previously revealed how the soap actress was reprising her role on the BBC One soap.
